Cincinnati Reds - Atlanta Braves 4:7-

Game: Miami at Los Angeles Dodgers (9:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 runs +110 (runline)
Last year was supposed to be a breakout season for the Marlins. They opened a new stadium with a roster chock full of high-quality free agents, but the season never got off the ground, and was a total bust. Now the free agents are gone, and the roster is full of rookies, and inexperienced players, and the 11-25 record shows it. They have won multiple games in a row just twice all season, and nine against a winning team. You can bet the Dodgers will come out steaming after suffering the loss to the lowly Marlins last night at home. The Marlins have scored 5 runs or more just eight times all season, and in their first seven have been outscored in their next game by a 36-16 count, or by 3 runs per game. Take the Dodgers on the runline.

Los Angeles Dodgers - Miami Marlins 7:1+

Cincinnati Reds - Milwaukee Brewers 5:1+

Minnesota Twins - Chicago White Sox 10:3+

Pittsburgh Pirates - Milwaukee Brewers 4:3+

Miami Marlins - Cincinnati Reds 3:5+

Game: San Francisco at Colorado (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 10.5 (-110)
After a pair of slugfests to open this series, I expect things to settle down here in Game Three. The Giants starter, Tim Lincecum is getting ever close to the form that made him one of the top pitchers in baseball, as he has struckout at least 6 batters over each of his last five starts, and has a respectable 3.76 career ERA vs. the hard-hitting Rockies' lineup. Tyler Chatwood has held the Giants in check, establishing a 2.93 ERA against them in limited appearances. The UNDER is 17-8-1 in Lincecum's last 26 starts after his team scored 5+ in their previous game. The Rockies are 8-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 12 vs. a winning team. Look for the pitchers to be in charge here, so play the UNDER.

Game: Cincinnati at Philadelphia (1:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: Philadelphia +130 (moneyline)
Cincinnati has a sparkling home record, but a losing road mark. The Reds are 1-4 in Homer Bailey's last five road starts.  Bailey has a 2.16 ERA at home, but is 1-3 on the road with a 4.78 ERA where he has given up all four of his homers. Teams hit .282 off him away from home. The Reds are 1-4 in Bailey's last five road starts vs. the Phillies. He faces a Philadelphia team that is quietly getting better, on a 4-2 run. The Phillies are 9-4 in their last 13 games as an underdog and 7-2 as an underdog of +110 to +150. Starter Jonathan Pettibon (3-0, 3.41 ERA) has been strong, and the Reds are 19-39 in the last 58 meetings with Philadelphia. Plus, the Reds are 7-20 in the last 27 meetings in Philadelphia. Play the Phillies.
